The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

Chapter 35



In a forest behind the Russian army, a German scout pointed at the Russian armored division in the distance and said in surprise:

"Sir, what do you see? So many tanks."

"Damn, there is an armored division hidden here, and they are all T-34 tanks. God, once they appear on the battlefield, it will definitely be a disaster for the infantry."The German lieutenant next to him was shocked when he saw it.

They are the reconnaissance troops affiliated with the Sixth Army, specializing in finding some valuable targets for the artillery. In the era without satellites, they are the eyes of the artillery.

The accuracy of the artillery depends on the effectiveness of the eyes. For this reason, both sides attach great importance to the construction of scouts.

This time, the Katyusha rocket launcher was able to achieve such a big advantage, and a large part of the reason was that they played a huge role.

"Send a telegram to the rear immediately. If this armored division is wiped out in one fell swoop, this war can be ended early."The German second lieutenant said quickly, looking at the bear armored division in the distance.

Soon, the coordinates were sent to the rear artillery command via radio. At this time, the German army had a huge advantage. There were powerful fighter planes in the sky and powerful artillery fire on the ground. There was a chance to kill them all.

Soon, Manstein received the telegram and broke out in a cold sweat. Once this armored division was put into battle, the Sixth Army would definitely suffer heavy losses. Even if they had a large number of bazookas, the losses would definitely be huge.

The Sixth Army must not suffer any more losses. Thinking of this, Manstein immediately issued an attack order

"Order the army group's artillery to immediately launch indiscriminate bombing on the area!"

""Your Excellency Marshal, this place is too far away from the artillery position, and our Katyusha rocket launchers are too close to the front line. If we move forward, once we are discovered by the Russian artillery, the consequences will be disastrous." The combat staff hurriedly stopped him and explained quickly.

Although the Russians were temporarily suppressed, it did not mean that they could not withdraw artillery. As long as they found the specific location of the German artillery positions, they would definitely launch a crazy attack. This was the experience they had summarized from combat in the past few years.

As long as the Russians found a valuable target, they would definitely spend all their resources to kill it.

Hearing this, Manstein hesitated. He treasured the Katyusha rocket launcher very much and was reluctant to have any losses. Suddenly, he thought of the 100 new helicopters and said immediately:"Doesn't the Air Force want to test 100 new helicopters? Let them go."

"yes!"

"In addition, let the Sixth Army prepare for anti-tank operations. Manstein was still worried and added:

"yes!"

AH-1 The attack helicopter, nicknamed Cobra, is the world's first anti-tank helicopter. Its main task is to provide close fire support and coordinated fire support during the day, night and in adverse weather conditions.

It can also perform tasks such as escorting assault transport aircraft, indicating targets, anti-armor operations, anti-helicopter operations, dealing with threatening fixed-wing aircraft, implementing key air defense and limited area air defense, reconnaissance, etc.

It can be said that this attack helicopter has excellent performance and very strong firepower. Although this is only a version from the 1950s, its firepower is also very strong.

The M197 3-barrel 20mm Gatling cannon has a firing rate of 750 rounds/minute, but can only fire 16 rounds in a row and has 750 rounds of ammunition. Of course, it is difficult to deal with tanks, but it is definitely a magic weapon to attack infantry positions.

In addition, it is also equipped with a 7-barrel 70mm rocket nest, which has a huge range and power, but poor accuracy, and can only cover the target with a salvo.

The T-34 tanks used to fight the Russians were definitely magical weapons. Their only drawback was that they consumed a lot of ammunition. Even if August went bankrupt, he could only afford to maintain 100 AH-1 attack helicopters. He really couldn't afford to maintain more.

The Russians didn't know that their trump card, or top-secret weapon, had been exposed.

They were still waiting for orders from their superiors, but they didn't know that the nightmare had officially arrived!

"What is that?" A sharp-eyed tank commander asked, looking at the black dot moving rapidly in the distance.

"Looks like an airplane"

"An airplane? An ugly one?"

"Could it be another new weapon of the German Army?"

Many tank commanders were joking. Not long after, rockets came flying without warning. When the rockets came fiercely, the armored division of the Russians fell into chaos. The Russians simply couldn't figure out why these ugly planes could launch rockets.

Unfortunately, the AH-1 attack helicopter didn't give them time to think.

PS I'm begging for support with tears in my eyes, because I'm updating so seriously? Big guys, please support me! It should be very cool to beat them with this new weapon!
